[TN-Bird] vultrue migration



Ran home for lunch today (20 Nov 2002) and had several kettles
of Turkey Vultures migrating directly over the house along the
ridgeline within about 30 minutes from 1:00 to 1:30pm.  Didn't
count the first kettle but there were about 8 birds, exactly 8
in the second, 30 in the third and 4 in the fourth.  I had a
fifth kettle of 4 birds as I was driving out of the neighborhood
on my way back to work.

Each time I got really excited when the first big bird came
flying over.  I've been hoping for a flock of Sandhills.

On a follow-up to yesterday's post, I got my first Brown Creeper
of the season this morning.
